Press kit for Silver Jews, issued in 1994 by U.S. record label Drag City.

Silver Jews first came to my attention via the Pavement connection, and they were on Drag City so hey, they had to be cool.

It was only later I understood that it was David Berman (not the Pavement dudes) that was the talent behind this outfit. Not that this tongue-in-check press release helped illuminate things for me. But I really enjoyed the comic on the back by one “DC Berman.” Hmm...

"No I don't really wanna die, I only wanna die in your eyes" The Natural Bridge is the brilliant 2nd album from David Berman's Silver Jews, and one that had somehow eluded us on vinyl until now. After two failed recording sessions with Scud Mountain Boys and Pavement members were scrapped, the final album released in 1996 was a sparse, stripped back affair. Often overlooked in favour of American Water (which followed 2 years later and once again featured contributions from Stephen Malkmus and co), The Natural Bridge keeps it simple, highlighting Berman's burgeoning songwriting craft and soon-to-be legendary humorous-yet-harrowing wordplay Silver Jews - The Natural Bridge (Drag City U.S. Re-issue) $40 @dragcityrecords #silverjews #thenaturalbridge #davidberman #purplemountains #dragcity @rocket_au @lookoutmoutainlookoutsea (at Beatdisc Records) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTOvIFoBhqX/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just finished this commission for a sister Silver Jews fan (and sister Laura!) @lanactrlaltdelrey , who requested a “Jagged Skyline of Car Keys” tapestry woven with colors from Silver Jews and Purple Mountains album covers- such a brilliant idea! Thanks for breaking me out of my usual color palette, Laura! This green is fantastic and I loved working with all these colors and weaving this for you! I used pearl cotton for this one, it gives the right amount of album cover shine. 8epi, 12/12 seine twine warp, weft bundle of 6 strands 10/2 pearl cotton. “Jagged Skyline of Car Keys- Album Cover Colors,” cotton warp and weft, 9.5” x 10”, 2021. #tapestryweaversofinstagram #tapestryweaving #silverjews #davidberman #weaversofinstagram #contemporarytapestry #richmondca #purplemountains (at Richmond, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMVWI8mJKIG/?igshid=in0yyny2rlpp

R.I.P. David Berman. What a loss. I only recently posted his Purple Mountains album and I hear this sad news today. He made one final great album for us to enjoy. He was a great poet and a great musician. R.I.P. #davidberman #silverjews #purplemountains #rip https://www.instagram.com/p/B0595SiJNOi/?igshid=45qu21zvy3uh

“There were no new ways to understand the world, only new days to set our understanding against.” I was enjoying an evening of cotton candy entertainment and some ping pong texts with a mega-rad individual when I was informed of the passing of another mega-rad individual, Silver Jews’ David Cloud Berman...gone at 52...rest easy, brother... #davidberman #american #singersongwriter #poet #cartoonist #gonetoosoon #silverjews #purplemountains (at Akron, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B04mmYzB6eI/?igshid=1quf6h510aj4o

I don't listen to this album a great deal as it hits a little too hard after you know what. Today, I randomly grabbed it to play in the car and wallowed in the lyrics a little, but the sun was out, I wasn't working and overall, I really enjoyed it. Later in the day I found out it's three years to the day since David left us. Pure coincidence, I know, but f#@king hell. #purplemountains #davidberman #silverjews https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg-FgddLHVs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
